Fig. 3 is a fragmentary detail view, and

Fig. 4- is a cross section on l ne a t of Fig. 2.

The form in which I have illustra ed my invention comprises a cigaretteshaped roller or stem '7 on which the cigarette paper 8 is rolled intocigarette form. A cylindrical or tubular member 9 is provided whichreceives said stem with the paper rolled thereon, and contains a slot 10through which the outer edge 8 of the paper may be moistened and presseddown to fasten it in position, but said outer edge of paper may also bemoistened and fastened down while on the stem 7 and before said stem andpaper are placed in the tubular member 9. A funnel-shaped portion orflared mouth 11 is provided on one end of said member 9, in order thatthe tobacco may be conveniently placed into the rolled paper 8 whileheld in the tubular member 9 and after removal of the stem 7. Thisfunnel-shaped portion 11 is preferably formed integral. with member 9,but may be otherwise provided thereon. A chain or similar flexiblemember 1:2- is fastened on one end of stem 7 and on member 9 Serial No.6%,972.

to permanently connect said stem and memher and prevent accidental lossthereof.

lVh en it is desired to make a cigarette the paper is rolled on the stemor roller 7 and with it inserted in the tubular member 9, and the edge 8is moistened through the slot 10 and fastened down, unless it haspreviously been moistened and fastened in position; the stem 7 is thenwithdrawn and. the protruding end of the paper 8, as best shown in Fig.3, is pressed over with the finger to close the same at this end ofmember 9, whereupon the tobacco is inserted through the funnel-shaped orflared mouth 11 into the cigarette through the open upper end thereof,and the cigarette is then withdrawn as a substantially perfectly formedcigar ette.
